X+y/z -a=b solve for y

1 answer:

8 0

You subtract x from both sides and add a to both sides.
You would then be left with y/z = b + a - x
Then multiply both sides by z and you get y = z(b+a-x)
Or y = bz + az + xz

ruslelena [56]

The length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

<h3>How to find the original length of the rope using ratio?</h3>

He cut a rope into two pieces with lengths having a ratio of 5 to 2.

The shorter piece is 70 cm long.

The length of the original rope can be calculated as follows:

The ratio of the length of the rope is as follows;

5 : 2

let

x = length of the original rope

Therefore,

length of shorter piece = 2 / 7 × 70

length of shorter piece = 140 / 7

length of shorter piece = 20 cm

Therefore, the length of the shorter rope is 20 cm.

f) The life of a power transmission tower is exponentially distributed, with mean life 25 years. If three towers, operated indep

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so $m = 25, \mu = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

We have to find $P(X > 35)$

$P(X > 35) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-0.04*35} = 0.2466$

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so $p = 0.2466$

3 towers, so $n = 3$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.2466)^{2}.(0.7534)^{1} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.2466)^{3}.(0.7534)^{0} = 0.0150$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1374 + 0.0150 = 0.1524$

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Part A

ozzi

Answer:

As the sucrose concentration is higher in the solution, the water in the balloon, where the sucrose is less concentrated, will tend to leave and try to dilute the outer solution until both sucrose concentrations are equal. But as the water leaves the balloon, the concentration inside will increase, so it will flow outside until both concentrations are equal and not until the outer concentration is similar to the initial concentration in the balloon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps:)
